2017年6月大學(xué)英語(yǔ)六級(jí)翻譯練習(xí)：廟會(huì)

　　請(qǐng)將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

　　廟會(huì)(temple fair)是中國(guó)的一種傳統(tǒng)民俗活動(dòng)。有傳說(shuō)認(rèn)為，廟會(huì)源于古人祭祀土地神(village god),后來(lái)漸漸演變成商品交易市場(chǎng)和文化表演場(chǎng)所。廟會(huì)通常在廟里或寺廟附近的露天場(chǎng)地舉行，時(shí)間常在節(jié)日或特定的日子。有些廟會(huì)只在春節(jié)舉行。盡管不同地區(qū)的廟會(huì)時(shí)間不同，但是內(nèi)容相似。農(nóng)民和商人出售自己的農(nóng)產(chǎn)品、玉器、花鳥魚蟲等;工匠擺攤展示并出售手工藝品;民間藝術(shù)家搭建舞臺(tái)表演歌舞;普通民眾來(lái)廟會(huì)購(gòu)買商品、觀看表演以及品嘗特色小吃。

　　譯文參考：

Some are held only during the Spring Festival. Although different places hold their temple fairs on various dates, the contents are similar. Farmers and merchants sell their farm produce, jade articles, flowers, birds and fish, etc.;craftsmen set up their stalls to show and sell their handicrafts; folk artists establish a stage for singing and dancing;ordinary people come to the temple fair to buy goods, watch the performances and eat special snacks.
